Like artists, important writers defy unequivocal interpretations.
Gao Xingjian, winner of the Nobel Prize in literature, is a
cosmopolitan writer, deeply rooted in the Chinese past while
influenced by paragons of Western Modernity. The present volume is
less interested in a general discussion on the multitude of aspects
in Gao's works and even less in controversies concerning their
aesthetic value than in obtaining a response to the crucial issues
of freedom and fate from a clearly defined angle. The very nature
of the answer to the question of freedom and fate within Gao
Xingjian's works can be called a polyphonic one: thereare
affirmative as well as skeptical voices. But polyphony, as embodied
by Gao, is an even more multifaceted phenomenon. Most important for
our contention is the fact that Gao Xingjian's aesthetic experience
embodies prose, theater, painting, and film. Taken together, they
form a Gesamtkunstwerk whose diversity of voices characterizes
every single one of them.
